Drews Gap (el. 5306 ft.) is a mountain pass in the U.S. state of Oregon traversed by Oregon Route 140. It is named for Major Charles S. Drew of the 1st Oregon Cavalry, who surveyed a route from Fort Klamath east to the Owyhee River in 1864 that became the Oregon Central Military Road.[1]
It is located between Drews Reservoir and Booth State Scenic Corridor which is just East of the summit and 12 miles west of Lakeview.[2]
